Un relato necesario donde el cuerpo de las mujeres cobra voz y rostro. Durante milenios, el cuerpo de la mujer ha sido un arma con la que ejércitos, terroristas y milicias han humillado, oprimido y castigado a sus adversarios. A pesar de los numerosos casos de violencia sexual, las voces de las protagonistas han sido acalladas mucho tiempo.Christina Lamb, corresponsal de guerra de larga trayectoria, nos ofrece en Nuestros cuerpos, sus batallas una cronica de la extraordinaria tragedia de la guerra, centrandose en los abusos cometidos contra mujeres y sus traumaticas consecuencias para las supervivientes. Conoceremos en primera persona el sufrimiento y la valentia de aquellas que, a pesar de las adversidades, luchan porque se haga justicia. Desde las esclavas del Sureste Asiatico durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial hasta las jovenes yazidies vendidas al Estado Islamico, pasando por la Argentina tras el golpe de Estado de 1976 y la Bosnia de los noventa, Lamb da voz a historias de heroismo y resistencia que nos invitan a la accion.Mejor libro del año segun el Times y el Sunday TimesUna obra que abre los ojos a la magnitud y los horrores de las violaciones de guerra [].

Yo soy Malala, de Christina Lamb y Malala Yousafzai, es el excepcional relato de una familia desterrada por el terrorismo global, de la lucha por la educación de las niñas, de un padre que, él mismo propietario de una escuela, apoyo a su hija y la alento a escribir y a ir al colegio, y de unos padres valientes que quieren a su hija por encima de todo en una sociedad que privilegia a los hijos varones. Yo soy Malala nos hace creer en el poder de la voz de una persona para cambiar el mundo. Malala Yousafzai se dio a conocer a los once años con un blog para el servicio en urdu de la BBC , en el que, bajo el pseudonimo Gul Makai, escribia sobre la lucha de su familia por la educacion de las niñas en su comunidad. Como reconocimiento a su valor y a su lucha, ha recibido numerosos premios: Premio Nacional de la Paz de Pakistan en 2011, Premio Infantil Internacional de la Paz en 2013, XXV Premi Internacional Catalunya 2013. Es la persona mas joven en haber sido nominada para el Premio Nobel de la Paz. Malala sigue abogando por el acceso universal a la educacion a traves del Malala Fund, una organizacion sin animo de lucro que apuesta por programas de gestion comunitaria y que apoya a los defensores de la educacion en todo el mundo. Christina Lamb ha sido corresponsal en Pakistan y Afganistan desde 1987. Educada en Oxford y en Harvard, es la autora de cinco libros y ha recibido numerosos premios internacionales de periodismo. Yo soy Malala esta clasificado en la materia politica internacional.Yo no hablo por mi, sino por aquellos cuya voz no puede ser oida. Aquellos que han luchado por sus derechos. Su derecho a vivir en paz. Su derecho a ser tratados con dignidad. Su derecho a la igualdad de oportunidades. Su derecho a la educacion. Malala YousafzaiCuando los talibanes tomaron el control del valle de Swat en Pakistan, una niña alzo su voz. Malala Yousafzai se nego a ser silenciada y lucho por su derecho a la educacion.

Sin embargo, la milagrosa recuperacion de Malala la ha llevado en un extraordinario periplo desde un remoto valle en el norte de Pakistan hasta las Naciones Unidas en Nueva York. A los dieciseis años se ha convertido en un simbolo global de la protesta pacifica, y es la nominada mas joven de la historia para el Premio Nobel de la Paz.Los extremistas han demostrado que es lo que mas temen: a una niña con un libro.

There will be an avalanche of books about the pandemic. None will be as eye-opening or humane or moving as Lambs DAILY TELEGRAPH A story of poverty, generosity and worlds colliding in modern Britain When Covid-19 hit the UK and lockdown was declared, Mike Matthews wondered how his four-star hotel would survive. Then the council called. The British government had launched a programme called Everyone In and 33 rough sleepers many of whom had spent decades on the street needed beds.The Prince Rupert Hotel would go on to welcome well over 100 people from this community, offering them shelter, good food and a comfy bed during the pandemic. This is the story of how that luxury hotel spent months locked down with their new guests, many of them traumatised, addicts or suffering from mental illness. As a world-leading foreign correspondent turning her attention to her own country for the first time, Christina Lamb chronicles how extreme situations were handled and how shocking losses were suffered, how romances emerged between guests and how people grappled with their pasts together. Unexpected and profound, heart-warming and heartbreaking, this is a tale that gives a panoramic insight into modern Britain in all its failures, and people in all their capacities for kindness even in the most difficult of times.

From the award-winning co-author of I Am Malala, this book asks just how the might of NATO, with 48 countries and 140,000 troops on the ground, failed to defeat a group of religious students and farmers? How did the Wests war in Afghanistan and across the Middle East go so wrong? Farewell Kabul tells how the West turned success into defeat in the longest war fought by the United States in its history and by Britain since the Hundred Years War. It is the story of well-intentioned men and women going into a place they did not understand at all. And how, what had once been the right thing to do had become a conflict that everyone wanted to exit. It has been a fiasco which has left Afghanistan still one of the poorest and most dangerous nations on earth. The leading journalist on the region with unparalleled access to all key decision makers, Christina Lamb is the best-selling author of The Africa House and I Am Malala, co-authored with Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai. This revelatory and personal account is her final analysis of the realities of Afghanistan, told unlike anyone before.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZESHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE A wake-up call Amal ClooneyDevastating rape and sexual abuse continue to be a pervasive and all-too-often hidden feature of conflict zones the world over HM Queen Camilla From award-winning war reporter and co-author of I Am Malala, this is the first major account to address the scale of rape and sexual violence in modern conflict. Christina Lamb has worked in war and combat zones for over thirty years. In Our Bodies, Their Battlefield she gives voice to the women of conflicts, exposing how in todays warfare, rape is used by armies, terrorists and militias as a weapon to humiliate, oppress and carry out ethnic cleansing. Speaking to survivors first-hand, Lamb encounters the suffering and bravery of women in war and meets those fighting for justice. From Southeast Asia where comfort women were enslaved by the Japanese during World War Two to the Rwandan genocide, when an estimated quarter of a million women were raped, to the Yazidi women and children of today who witnessed the mass murder of their families before being enslaved by ISIS. Along the way Lamb uncovers incredible stories of heroism and resistance, including the Bosnian women who have hunted down more than a hundred war criminals, the Aleppo beekeeper rescuing Yazidis and the Congolese doctor who has risked his life to treat more rape victims than anyone else on earth. Rape may be as old as war but it is a preventable crime. Bearing witness does not guarantee it wont happen again, but it can take away any excuse that the world simply didnt know.

In 1992 Christina Lamb reported on the war the Afghan people were fighting against the Soviet Union. Now, back in Afghanistan, she has written an extraordinary memoir of her love affair with the country and its people. Long haunted by her experiences in Afghanistan, Lamb returned there after the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Centre to find out what had become of the people and places that had marked her life as a young graduate. This time seeing the land through the eyes of a mother and experienced foreign correspondent, Lambs journey brings her in touch with the people no one else is writing about: the abandoned victims of almost a quarter century of war. Of all books about Afghanistan, Christina Lambs is the most revealing and rewardinga personal, perceptive and moving account of bravery in the face of staggering difficulties. Anthony Sattin, Sunday Times As an account of how Afghanistan got into its present state, and of the making of the grotesque regime of the Taliban, this book could not possibly be bettered. Brilliant. Matthew Leeming, Spectator Lambs book combines a love of Afghanistan with a fearless search for the human stories behind the past twenty-three years of warHer book is not only a necessary education for the Western reader in the political warring that generated the torture, murder and poverty, but also a stirring lament for the country of ruins that was once better known for its poetry and mosques. James Hopkin, The Times

An extraordinary collection of reportage that tells the story of some of the most important world events of the past 16 years, from one of the most talented and intrepid female journalists at work today. Since leaving England aged 21 with an invitation to a Karachi wedding and a yearning for adventure, Christina Lamb has spent 20 years living out of suitcases, reporting from around the world and becoming one of Britains most highly regarded journalists. She has won numerous awards, including being named Foreign Correspondent of the Year a remarkable four times. Small Wars Permitting is a collection of her best reportage, following the principal events of the last two decades everywhere from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. But Lambs main interest has always been in the untold stories, the people and places others dont visit. Undaunted by danger, disease or despots, she has travelled by canoe through the Amazon rainforest in search of un-contacted Indians, joined a Rio samba school to infiltrate crime rackets behind Carnival and survived a terrifying ambush by Taliban. No less remarkable are the characters that Lamb meets along the way, from Marsh Arabs who covet Play Stations instead of buffaloes to an Armenian compere for performing dolphins with whom she travelled during the war in Iraq. Lambs writing is passionate, powerful and poetic, transforming reportage into literature. Through the stories she tells and her own development from a self-confessed war junkie to a devoted mother Lamb attempts to comprehend the human consequences of conflict in the countries she has come to know.

A powerful and intensely human insight into the civil war in Zimbabwe, focusing on a white farmer and his maid who find themselves on opposing sides. One bright morning Nigel Hough, one of the few remaining white farmers in Mugabes Zimbabwe, received the news he was dreading a crowd were at the gate demanding he surrender his home and land. To his horror, his familys much-loved nanny Aqui was at the head of the violent mob that then stole his homestead and imprisoned him in an outhouse By tracing the intertwined lives of Nigel and Aqui rich and poor, white and black, master and maid through intimate and moving interviews, Christina Lamb captures not just the source of a terrible conflict, but also her own conviction that there is still hope for one of Africas most beautiful countries.

In the last decades of the British Empire, Stewart Gore-Brown build himself a feudal paradise in Northern Rhodesia; a sprawling country estate modelled on the finest homes of England, complete with uniformed servants, daily muster parades and rose gardens. He wanted to share it with the love of his life, the beautiful unconventional Ethel Locke King, one of the first women to drive and fly. She, however, was nearly twenty years his senior, married and his aunt. Lorna, the only other woman he had ever cared for, had married another many years earlier. Then he met Lornas orphaned daughter, so like her mother that he thought he had seen a ghost. It seemed he had found companionship and maybe love - but the Africa house was his dream and it would be a hard one to share.
